About the book... To transform a sketch, a drawing, or a simple idea into a physical model, requires a lot of work and effort. Computer Aided Design (CAD) or Computer Aided Industrial Design (CAID) provides designers with the tools to model their projects. Using Rhinoceros, the models can be used accurately in a variety of applications such as digital imaging/rendering, computer animation, CAE, and CAM. The book combines concepts and tutorials as examples of what a designer can implement in their professional activity to enhance productivity in different areas. Available in Spanish only.
